Lost 1–2 away at Dundee · Sep 19
That's how they've played so far. Where the model has Motherwell finishing in May, and the odds on going down, come with a free account.
What the numbers say
Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.
Attack
Wasteful, not toothless
Scoring about 11% below what their shot volume supports. Finishing that far below the run rate usually corrects.
0.89
goals per expected
Attack
They run at people
1st in the division for completed dribbles. A side that goes past defenders rather than around them.
69
dribbles
Overall
Giving the ball away
Dispossessed 69 times, more than all but a handful in the division. Territory earned and handed straight back.
